SRE exhibits Kuri government's failure: did not request National Security endorsement for police academy with Ambassador Ronald Johnson
The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) clarified that the state government of Querétaro did not seek prior approval from the National Security Council’s High-Level Security Group (GANSEG) before constructing a police training academy in collaboration with U.S. Ambassador Ronald Johnson. The SRE responded to President Claudia Sheinbaum’s criticism during her morning address, stating that according to national security law, states must obtain GANSEG’s pre-approval for any foreign cooperation in security matters. While Querétaro informed the SRE about Johnson’s visit, they failed to submit the project for formal review. The academy, which involves a $30 million investment by the state, was described by the SRE as a project involving foreign security cooperation, thus requiring GANSEG’s oversight. The SRE emphasized that such collaborations must follow institutional channels to ensure federal supervision.

Pedro Sánchez bets on early elections and populist policies
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called early general elections for November 29, months ahead of schedule, in an attempt to capitalize on public outrage over the forced eviction of an elderly woman, Maricarmen Abascal, which became a symbol of Spain’s housing crisis. Sánchez plans to frame the election as a populist contest between affordable housing and social benefits versus the privileges of the right-wing elite. This move comes amid challenges, including a majority opinion favoring the right-wing opposition, poor handling of a migrant influx into Ceuta, corruption allegations against his party leaders, and his wife facing trial for influence peddling. Sánchez introduced a housing emergency decree aimed at protecting vulnerable tenants by banning evictions until 2030 and restricting property purchases by large investors, but it was narrowly rejected by Parliament in late September due to opposition from nationalist and right-wing parties.
First reviews of tiArtificial, Luca Guadagnino's film about OpenIA for which he was fired from Amazon: A dark and uncomfortable comedy
The film 'Artificial,' directed by Luca Guadagnino, has premiered at the New York Film Festival and sparked significant controversy this year. The movie explores the creation of OpenAI from early developments by Ilya Sutskever and Geoffrey Hinton in 2003 up to the November 2023 crisis where Sam Altman was ousted and later reinstated by the board. It portrays the tension between corporate ambition and concerns over AI safety and regulation. The narrative frames the story as a thematic continuation of 'The Social Network,' highlighting corporate greed, betrayals, and power dynamics around technological innovation. The script, written by Simon Rich, begins in 2003 with Sutskever's early work under Hinton and follows his journey through key moments including selling their research to Google and the eventual rise of OpenAI under Altman's leadership. The film presents Sutskever as a pivotal technical talent whose perspective shifts after witnessing AI's potential to generate false information.
Separatism returns to power in Quebec and challenges Canada's unity with a referendum scheduled for after 2029
The Parti Québécois (PQ), a pro-independence party, has won the provincial elections in Quebec, returning to power after over a decade in opposition. With nearly 28% of the votes, the PQ led by Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon defeated the Liberals and Conservatives, surpassing the governing Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ). The victory raises new challenges for Canada’s national unity message, particularly under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, amid ongoing tensions with the United States and separatist movements in Alberta. Saint-Pierre Plamondon has pledged to organize a new referendum on Quebec’s independence, though the PQ does not hold an outright majority in the provincial assembly. He emphasized Quebec’s right to self-determination, stating the province 'deserves' to be a country. Trudeau responded by pledging support for Quebec businesses affected by U.S. tariffs. The PQ had previously conditioned a referendum on the departure of former U.S. President Donald Trump, arguing that current trade tensions make such a vote premature.
Honduras draws with Jamaica and stays in A.
In a football match between Honduras and Jamaica held in Tegucigalpa, the teams drew 1-1.

Jamaica took the lead in the 26th minute through a goal by Rudolph Speid, who scored from outside the box without being marked.

What initiatives is the Government working on to accelerate credit to the public, businesses and enterprises?
The Argentine government, through the Central Bank (BCRA) and other institutions, is implementing initiatives aimed at accelerating credit access for individuals, businesses, and commercial entities. These measures include promoting competition among lenders, improving credit quality, and reducing transaction costs. The vice president of the BCRA, Vladimir Werning, highlighted the need to encourage domestic savings and incentives for investment. The initiatives involve mechanisms such as the 'code of discount' which allows employers to deduct loan payments directly from employees’ salaries, and enabling immediate access to funds for merchants through digital payment coupons. Additionally, a federal guarantee system for businesses is being developed, inspired by reciprocal guarantee societies (SGR).
Minus the exchange rate: companies have already turned over more than USD 4 billion in dividends so far in 2026
The article reports that Argentine companies have already transferred over USD 4 billion in dividends abroad during the first nine months of 2026, according to data from the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA). This amount represents the highest level in at least ten years, surpassing the previous record set in 2016. The figure includes transfers through the foreign exchange market and remittances via currency swaps. When measured against September 2026 values, this marks a sharp increase compared to periods of stricter currency controls. The data was presented by BCRA Vice President Vladimir Werning during the World Investor Week. The article notes that while the current year's figures are significantly higher than previous years, including 2018 and 2019 combined, there was a notable decline in transfers between 2020 and 2025 due to tighter currency restrictions under former President Alberto Fernández.
Electromobility gains ground in Argentina: almost one in five cars patented in September was hybrid or electric
The article reports on the growing adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles in Argentina, citing data from September 2026. According to the Association of Automobile Dealers (Acara), nearly 19.6% of all registered cars in September were either hybrid or electric, marking a significant increase compared to earlier in the year. This growth is attributed to the upcoming 2027 licensing auction for tax-exempt hybrid and electric vehicles. In the pure electric category, BYD led sales with 565 units, followed by Jmev and BAIC. Hybrid vehicle sales were dominated by Toyota and Ford, with Toyota's Corolla Cross and Yaris Cross among the top models. The trend indicates increasing interest in electrified transportation ahead of regulatory changes.
